Know before you buy
Instead of a metal coil spring, these pedals use a carbon fiber blade to provide tension. This design is lighter, more aerodynamic, and offers a more consistent, secure engagement feel when you clip in.
Yes, they are fully compatible with all standard Look Keo cleats. If you are already using the Keo system, you can swap these pedals onto your bike without needing to change your shoe setup.
The retention tension on the Blade system is fixed based on the specific blade installed. This model comes with the 08-COMP blade, which offers a standard, secure tension suitable for most road cyclists.
A larger contact surface area helps distribute pressure more evenly across the cleat. This improves stability and power transfer, reducing the likelihood of 'hot spots' on your feet during long rides.
While optimized for racing, their durability makes them excellent for daily training. The carbon construction and steel bearings are built to handle high mileage, provided you keep up with basic maintenance.
The Q-factor is the distance between the pedal attachment point and the crank arm, which is 53mm on this model. This is the industry standard for road bikes, ensuring your legs remain in a natural, efficient alignment while pedaling.
